A truck on a straight road starts from rest, accelerating at 2.00m/s^2 until it reaches a speed of 20.0m/s. Then the truck trave

ls for 20.0s at constant speed until the brakes are applied, stopping the truck in a uniform manner in an additional 5.00s.
(a) How long is the truck in motion?
(b) What is the average velocity of the truck for the motion described?

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Time to reach the speed of 20 m/s with an acceleration of 2 m/s² can be calculated as follows .

v = u + a t

20 = 0 + 2 t

t = 20 /2 = 10 s .

Total time = 10 s + 20 s + 5 s = 35 s .

b) Average velocity = Total distance travelled / total time

Distance travelled in first 10 s

S₁ = ut + 1/2 a t²

= 0 + .5 x 2 x 10²

= 100 m

Distance travelled in next 20 s

S₂= 20s x 20 m/s  = 400 m

Distance travelled in last 5 s .

deceleration in last 5 s

v = u + at

0 = 20 m/s + a x 5

a = - 4 m/s²

v² = u² - 2 a s

0 = (20 m/s)² - 2 x 4 m/s² x s

s = 50 m

S₃ = 50 m

Total distance = S₁ + S₂ + S₃

= 100 m + 400 m + 50 m

= 550 m .

Average velocity = 550 m / 35 s

= 15.71 m /s .

In a nuclear power plant, the temperature of the water in the reactor is above 100°C because of what?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The temperature of the water increases because the nuclear reactor heats it producing steam

Explanation:

The nuclear power plants are usually defined as those thermal plants where the nuclear reactors are used in order to generate heat that eventually leads to the rotating of the turbines and produces electricity. Here the nuclear reactor heats the water, and it increases above a temperature of 100°C, where this heat energy plays a key role in the entire process. It is an efficient method as it does not lead to the emission of any green house gases that are harmful to the environment.
